From: Martin on 10 Aug 2010 18:55 What do you use on your Slackware64? As far as I know, Adobe released a a new version of flash some time ago, but it was only for 32-bit systems. What is the state of gnash now? Whenever I upgrade FF it rightly tells me that the flash-plugin is out-of-date. I'm using: flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo Watching youtube is usually ok, but it crashes quite often when I open a website with same flash ads. The BBC iplayer films are fine, but it can't handle the Channel 4's 4oD clips. What do you slackers use on your 64-bit systems? regards martin

Have heard that Gnash is quite good on 64, but doesn't always manage full screen. Regards, Barnabyh -- Barnaby.Hoffmann Reg. Linux User #398054

Martin, For other purposes, I have added the 32-bit compatibility stuff to Slackware64 13.1. Having already done that, it easy to use the 32-bit version of firefox (and thus flash player). If this is the only reason you would want 32-bit capability, you might find it a bit of work. (Having said that, the instructions are easy to follow, so it's not that big a deal.) Cheers Jim

So should I remove FF64 (+flash) and install FF from Slackware13.1 and then install flash manually from their website? regards martin

It looks like I'm using flash-10.0.32.18 (according to strings on the library file) installed some time ago from a download obtained via Adobe's website. It may be older than ideal but I don't visit lots of sites that use flash. This is with Slackware64-13.0. I hope the additional information is helpful. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sylvain Robitaille syl(a)encs.concordia.ca Systems analyst / AITS Concordia University Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science Montreal, Quebec, Canada ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
